YANKEE STINGINESS.
New England Roads Refuse to Help
Quicken the Mail Service.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-The Post Office
Department has been trying to arrange for
a faster mail service with closer connec-
ton between New York and Boston, in
order to secure a more perfect system along
the entiro Atlantic Coast Line. The at,
tempt has failed, owing to the refusal of
the railroads between New York and Boston
to put on the new service without additional
compensation. The Postmaster General in
view of this fact will probably recommend
to Congress that some legislation be enacted
to enable him to compel railroads to carry
the mails on any trains he may select and
at the compensation he may tender, with
the rights to appeal as to the latter to some
special tribunal
